great teacher

my son has really been enjoying hand drum lessons with phil. he's courteous and kind, and is good at engaging my almost-six year old and keeping him on task. he also is laid back and creates an atmosphere of fun, letting my son take the lead at times and being very collaborative.

Students begin with the Rubank method. A strong emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of scales, ear training, sight reading, and music theory. Along with this we have fun playing the music student enjoys.

About Randall

I have been teaching music for over 20 years and playing as a professional musician for even longer. I know how to get the best out of my students and have fun doing it. I'm a University of South Florida grad and I have worked and studies in Las Vegas and at the Berklee school of music. My students constantly win superiors at contest and sit in the upper chairs in band and orchestra. Lets have some fun and make some music.

*** Lesson Details ***In a laid back fun way we will learn the fundamentals of our instrument. I start out with the All For Strings series of books and add the Su

zuki method books for some tunes. In 3 to 6 months you will be playing the music you like and having fun and learning new things while you do.

*** Studio Equipment ***Lessons in the living room or den

*** Specialties ***Both classical and Jazz.

I've been playing the bass trombone for about 12 years, and have been teaching it for about 5. I was the TA for Tom Brantley at USF, and taught most of the undergraduate trombonists at some time or another through the 2013-2015 semesters. My goal when giving lessons is to create excitement for the instrument, inspire musical creativity, and inform students (in every experience level) what successful professional players do on a daily basis. My curriculum is set based on the individual player.

About Andrew

I love to play! I have been trained in styles of music such as swing, bebop, and other various jazz/latin styles; operatic, orchestral, and symphonic styles; and consistently maintain a very openminded laid back attitude. I've been playing in the Tampa area for several years now, and have received a masters degree in bass trombone performance from the University of South Florida in 2014.

Basics such as buzzing for beginners then we start to pick up notes starting with the B flat scale:) for more challenging lessons we will recap on all scales and fundamentals then start a portfolio for advanced students we would recap on all fundamentals and portfolio needs then discuss the future of the music you may be playing so we can work on high grade pieces in the genre

About Anthony

Hey I'm 21 have been playing and teaching since the 6 grade and have been teaching all throughout college I enjoy finding ways to provide understanding through concepts that relate to any student learning if you have no experience it's okay I've successfully tought 7 year Olds in two weeks of lessons and have gotten them to a practicing alone stage that gives them the tools they need to learn on their own

Review by Thomas

"GREAT Teacher!

I hadn't picked up a trombone in over 30 years. I was interested in joining a community band in my retirement, but knew I needed a lot of

"brush-up"I'm glad I found Kelly! He was able to determine where I needed the most work, and has tailored my lessons to meet my skill level. He's given me a good basic review of the trombone, and is also very capable on many other instruments. He's made sure I have plenty of appropriate level music to practice besides scales - so it doesn't get boring!I would highly recommend Kelly for anyone like myself who would like to get back to playing for fun. I will continue taking more lessons from him. I'm also sure he would be of great help for more serious students of any brass instrument.THANKS, Kelly!"

"Jacquelene Falcon or Jackie if you will is a great lesson teacher !!! She's young, intelligent, laid back , and a cool person to be around. She makes sure

to work with students to exemplify their strengths and build upon their weaknesses. During my time with Jackie she's improved my breathing, sound quality, tuning, and my range. Her lessons feature unique exercises that center on focusing on one aspect of your overall playing. I would definitely recommend her if you're seeking lessons or just want someone to jam with ."

Review by Jan

"David taught my daughter when she first decided to play the trombone in middle school band. It takes a special person to work with a moderately motivated,

quiet 12 year old girl. He was patient, providing her with plenty of skills to achieve 1st chair without pushing too hard, or the wrong way. However, without his guidance, she would never have attempted to try out for mid-state. He urged her to play music she liked, but also made sure she was exposed to jazz, improv and other styles. He accommodated our ever changing schedule, and probably hid frustration well when she forgot her instrument or didn't practice. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher!"

"Kevin has been giving lessons at our apartment to help my 13-year old daughter prepare for upcoming trombone auditions. I like how challenging and suppor

tive Kevin is during his lessons; my daughter thinks he's terrific fun too. As a parent, it has been easy to communicate with Kevin, he's extremely professional, personable, direct and honest. I strongly recommend him for any trombone student."

Review by Gina

"Kevin is a true musician who not only teaches children how to play an instrument, but also how to respect the instrument and the music. He worked with my

11 year old son who liked playing the trombone and opened a door into a whole new found love of playing. He is extremely engaging, patient and offers constructive help when necessary plus his love of music is clear in his instruction. I would highly recommend his services."
